For many boaters, a 9.9 hp outboard motor is the perfect size—powerful enough to move a
small boat with confidence, but compact enough to handle easily. Whether you’re exploring
small lakes, powering a jon boat, or maneuvering a sailboat, the right 9.9 hp motor should be
lightweight, efficient, and reliable.
The Elco EP-9.9 Electric Outboard delivers all of that and more. Offering the same
performance as a gas-powered 9.9 hp boat motor, this electric model combines portability,
quiet operation, and advanced battery technology—making it a standout choice for boaters who
want convenience without compromise.
Lightweight Design, Big Performance
The EP-9.9 shares its chassis with the EP-5, making it 20% lighter than comparable gas
outboards. That reduced weight means it’s easier to mount, remove, and carry, which is
especially useful for smaller boats or boaters who prefer to handle their own motor off the water.
Operating on a 48-volt system, the EP-9.9 is optimized for efficiency and steady performance.
It’s a great option for:
● Jon boats on small lakes
● Pontoons where motor restrictions apply
● Sailboats up to 25 feet and 2,500 pounds
Despite its compact size, the EP-9.9 provides plenty of thrust for smooth, confident boating—all
without the fumes or fuel of gas-powered engines.

Why Choose the EP-9.9 Over a Gas 10 HP Outboard Motor?
